The Clergyman.

A man he was to all the country dear,

And passing rich with forty pounds a-year.

GOLDSMITH’S Deserted² Village.

Mrs. Dods’s conviction, that her friend Tyrrel had been murdered by the sanguinary Captain MacTurk remained firm and unshaken; but some researches for the supposed body having been found fruitless, as well as expensive, she began to give up the matter in despair. “She had done her duty”—“she left the matter to them that had a charge anent such things”— and “Providence would bring the mystery to light in his own fitting time”— such were the moralities with which the good dame⁴ consoled herself; and, with less obstinacy⁵ than Mr. Bindloose had expected, she retained her opinion without changing her banker and man of business.

Perhaps Meg’s acquiescent⁷ inactivity in a matter which she had threatened to probe so deeply, was partly owing to the place of poor Tyrrel being supplied in her blue chamber⁸, and in her daily thoughts and cares, by her new guest, Mr. Touchwood; in possessing whom, a deserter as he was from the Well, she obtained, according to her view of the matter, a decided⁹ triumph over her rivals. It sometimes required, however, the full force of this reflection, to induce Meg, old and crabbed¹⁰ as she was, to submit to the various caprices and exactions of attention which were displayed by her new lodger¹¹. Never any man talked so much as Touchwood, of his habitual¹² indifference13
